Wisk Experiment 2: Carbohydrate Stain

There is one stain that I commonly deal with in our home and it is the carbohydrate stain. This includes things such as chocolate milk, ketchup, BBQ sauce, and syrup. Whenever I serve something with ketchup, I always preface the meal with something like, “Please lean over your plate when you eat and don’t get any ketchup on your clothes.” :sigh:
I cannot stand cleaning stains off of clothes and I certainly don’t like ruining good clothes with stains so I am glad that Wisk has given me something new to try. This time Wisk asked me to try their new Wisk Stain Spectrum Detergent on a carbohydrate stain.
Today was a beautiful fall day so for lunch we grilled hotdogs. I also served potato smiles to the kids. Of course, they like lots of ketchup for their hotdog and potatoes.
Alligator Girl is the messy one in the house. She reminds me of myself at her age. It seemed each time that I ate, I wore something on my clothes. Too bad my mom didn’t have the new Wisk technology. Because Alligator Girl is the messy one in the house, we painted a big ketchup “M” on her shirt for “Miss Messy”. She was proud of her title.
Cuddlebug wanted to help out, so I let him apply the Wisk to half of the stain and rub it in. We let the Wisk eat away at the stain for about 5 minutes and then rinsed it under warm water.
Taaadaaa! Seeing is believing. I admit, I was a little skeptical of what the Wisk could do. Afterall, I have dealt with plenty of red stains, but I cannot deny these results. I am pleased with how well the Wisk worked.

Our Science Experiment with Wisk Stain Spectrum Detergent

A few weeks ago, I shared with you all that Wisk just introduced a new detergent with stain technology. I’m excited to receive some of the new detergent.
Wisk asked our family to perform an experiment. For this experiment, Wisk sent us a grass stain (which is a protein stain), lab coat, beaker, dropper, goggles, and a bottle of Wisk. My kids were so excited about the experiment and lab coat that we had to take turns with the experiment. Now my daughter has informed me that she wants to wear the lab coat and be a scientist for Halloween.
This was a simple experiment. We simply applied some of the Wisk Stain Spectrum Detergent to the grass stain.
Next, we put the stained cloth into a beaker of water and swished it around for a few seconds.
As you can see, within just a few seconds the Wisk took away the grass stain where we put the detergent and then starting eating away at the rest of the stain.
And this has nothing to do with the experiment, but my daughter was giving a weird mad scientist face. I thought it was funny.
Since Wisk did such a great job, we decided to put the stained cloth back in the water for a few more seconds. Woweewow!
My daughter has declared Wisk to be the best laundry detergent ever. She also began to tell me about all of the stains in her clothes that it would remove. She is our messy one.
Have you tried the new Wisk Stain Spectrum Detergent?

Wisk: The Then and Now of Fighting Stains

Do you ever sit around and watch old commercials onYouTube? I do. I think they’re quite hilarious and honestly, they take me back to my childhood. Sometimes I show the old commercials to my kids and they get a good giggle from watching. Of course then, I have to hear the questions like, “Did they have electricity when you were a kid?”. haha
Here’s an old commercial from Wisk. Wow, does that take me back! The thing back then was ring around the collar. It would have been a terrible thing for a woman’s husband to show up to work with stains on his collar. It would have been a reflection of her ability to keep house.
I know that my mom always kept a bottle of Wisk in our home. We referred to it as “the good stuff”. Many times we would use the other detergents to wash with and then we’d get out the Wisk for the tough stains. We’d apply the detergent directly to the stains and rub it in.
Detergents have come a long way over the years. Check out this new detergent from Wisk. I’m excited to try it.
I think moms today have just as many stain worries as they did back then. Kids will be kids. Children will still get grass and chocolate milk stains on their clothes. Many times I feel badly for getting on to my kids so much. I’m just so worried about ruining another outfit with their stains. Hopefully, the new Wisk with Stain Spectrum Technology can help me to put my worries aside and let my kids have a good time.
What do you think . . . do you think the stains you tackle today are the same as the stains your mom faced?
